i thought I'd just leave this here and say a few things.
It's going to be ok.
I know a lot of you are distraught about this election. It seems like we've elected a fascist/bigoted/vulgar/dictatorial/obnoxious man for president. You feel like you don't understand your own fellow Americans or that the world is crumbling around you. You feel wronged.
Again, it's going to be ok.
When Obama first got elected, I was upset. I was thirteen then, a little too young to get how elections worked and why anybody would vote for a liberal. I cried about it for a while but had to keep going. I thought so many people had become lax and complacent and had been duped into buying into a leftist agenda.
I was worried that Obama would destroy Christianity. I was worried he would turn me gay. I was worried he would persecute Christians out of existence. I was afraid of being the last Christian on earth, with no one to turn to for help. I thought my friends were so stupid for not seeing what was so obvious, that Obama was a Muslim who sought to recreate America into a multicultural utopia that I would be kicked out of.
Don't worry about tommorow. Focus on the good things that never go away with each election. And remember that we need everyone, especially people that will play devil's advocate and foster healthy political debate. You are always welcome in these great United States.
God bless.
